Color grading nodes

A look always consists of several color correction steps, the so-called “Nodes”.

The node list and corresponding grade controls can be found in the bottom of the screen.

  • The node list provides an overview of all nodes in the current look, allows you to select a specific node, and offers various options for interacting with a node.
  • The grade controls show the input fields that are available for the specific node. Depending on the node type, different controls are available.
